It’s Halloween! So…Happy Halloween to all FWTR Readers!

I love Halloween - even though it might not appear it this year. You see, in the five years that my husband was in Australia (he was just my boyfriend back then), we always celebrated all American holidays to make him feel “at home”. And by far, Halloween was my favorite one to celebrate (and my family agreed with that too!).

We really introduced the concept of a commercialized Halloween to all our Australian family and friends. They all knew that for Halloween, it was at Zach & Patricia’s place they go And the best part was, they all came dressed up and really got into it. We absolutely loved it.

Last year (our last Halloween in Aussie Land), I went as a Bee! I thought my homemade (for the most part) costume was a hit (even though it’s not really a scary costume):

Left: With my cousin “Scream” and my 87 year old Grandmother as her adorable self
Right: How awesome are my wings?

Did anyone buy their Halloween costume at Walgreens this year? What did you buy?

The only Halloween related items I bought from Wags was a Ghost Candy Dish (simply because I thought it was cute as Casper) and loads of Halloween tumblers

That’s all, I just really wanted to greet you all a Happy Halloween! Have a Spook-tacular Night! (Sorry, had to say it )

The coupon preview is NOW AVAILABLE through The Coupon Clippers.

This weekend, we should be getting a Smart Source, a Red Plum and the November P&G insert.

I had a quick browse through and I noticed there were more FOOD items this week. And I also noticed more Glade stuff I was excited about the Oral-B CrossAction Power BOGO coupon. I love, love, love that type of toothbrush (remember when we got it for FREE at Wags back in June?).

Anyway, what did YOU see that you’re looking forward to? Care to share in case we missed it and should be excited about it too?
